Cute Stay Near the Park

convenient location quiet room friendly staff

Central Location, Good Amenities

great location quiet room separate entry

The location works well. It is just a short walk to the main high street. My room was very quiet, even though it was above the pub, and it had everything I needed. A separate entry exists, away from the main pub door.

There was a smell from the drainage. The rooms and bathroom were clean, but this still spoiled it for me.
